Resolve To Lose Slowly - Set Realistic Goals

Successful weight loss doesn't happen overnight, it takes months and not days. Putting unreasonable pressure on yourself to succeed is not a good idea. When you tell yourself, "I must lose 50 pounds by my sisters wedding" you're setting yourself for weight loss failure. Be sure your goals are realistic.There's no use in trying to reach a 50 lb per month. Resolve to lose slowly. Set short term goals.Healthy weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Remember, Slow and steady wins the race. Losing weight more rapidly means losing muscle tissue and losing muscle tissue means slow metabolism.

Start small. Set yourself a goal of losing 2 pounds weight in 1 week. Smaller goals are realistic and achievable. Reach for mini-milestones first and then work towards a big goal. Reward yourself each time you acheive your small terget weight. Setting small goals makes it easier to acheive and gives you the confidence to achieve your large goal. Lose weight slowly, keep it off.
